Made to Wear ‘Hand Me Downs’, Nelly Korda Showed Her Scary Competitive Side from a Very Young Age
When we think of world number one Nelly Korda, it’s important to acknowledge her support system. Coming from a family of tennis professionals, Nelly has received substantial support, especially from her elder sister, Jessica Korda.
Jessica has always worked hard to make Korda’s journey in golf easier. Jessica Korda, the 6x LPGA winner, expressed that despite sharing the same profession, they “basically just help each other out as much as we can.” “If the other one is struggling with something, the other one’s always there to help,” Jessica continued.
This mutual support is noticeable in their relationship and can often be spotted on and off course. Take this year’s Grant Thornton Invitational, for instance, despite being sleepless and in the weak condition of her ten-month-old baby, Jessica Korda is at Tiburon Golf Club. Not to play, but to support her World No. 1 golfing sister.
